Pielke Jr.: ‘Renewables’ are not Renewable – The fossil fuel foundation of wind, solar, & batteries – ‘Come from supply chains that are fossil fuel intensive’

https://rogerpielkejr.substack.com/p/renewables-are-not-renewable?publication_id=119454&utm_campaign=email-post-title&r=1g0x4t&utm_medium=email By Roger Pielke Jr. Excerpt: Today’s post starts with a simple question: Can wind turbines and solar panels be created from a supply chain powered by wind turbines and solar panels? The answer is no. Wind turbines and solar panels come from supply chains that are fossil fuel intensive and technological options to replace […]

Trump admin dumps Biden-era wind projects for billion-dollar investment in US oil

https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/trump-admin-dumps-biden-era-wind-projects-billion-dollar-investment-u-s-oil# By Peter Pinedo FOXBusiness Interior Secretary Doug Burgum called the agreement ‘yet another win for President Trump’s commitment to affordable and reliable energy’ The Trump Department of the Interior secured a landmark agreement with energy giant TotalEnergies to redirect nearly $1 billion away from “unreliable” and “ideological” wind farm projects approved under the Biden administration and […]

Kevin O’Leary: Iran war has ‘proven to the world that oil still matters — not a some, it matters A LOT!’ – ‘We didn’t buy any insurance investing billions of dollars in wind & solar’

Kevin O’Leary just said the quiet part out loud about what the Hormuz closure has confirmed about green energy: “It’s been practically USELESS in helping us at this point right now.” AOC and the climate alarmists are not going to like this one bit. O’LEARY: “The one thing… pic.twitter.com/d05GlejPAm — Overton (@overton_news) March 20, 2026

Reuters Cheers Iran War as Fossil Fuel Killer – ‘Iran war energy shock sparks global push to reduce fossil fuel dependence’

https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/business/joseph-vazquez/2026/03/20/talk-about-hot-take-climate-mad-reuters-cheers-iran-war By Joseph Vazquez Apparently, the most important positive outcome from the war with Iran is that it has the potential to reduce the world’s reliance on fossil fuels, according to Gaia’s acolytes at Reuters, not knocking out the world’s foremost state sponsor of terror. “Iran war energy shock sparks global push to reduce fossil […]

Watch: Indiana & Illinois Solar Farms Devastated by Severe Storm

https://energynewsbeat.co/wheatfield-indiana-solar-farm-devastated-by-severe-storm-assessing-the-aftermath/ By Clark Savage In the quiet town of Wheatfield, Indiana, a powerful storm system unleashed chaos on March 10, 2026, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. While initial reports suggested hail as the primary culprit, investigations point to a suspected tornado as the main force behind the widespread damage. The Dunns Bridge […]

Alex Epstein: ‘Solar and wind aren’t real power sources, they’re intermittent fuel-savers’ – ‘Usually at great expense’

https://t.co/BjiDIWeqbI — Alex Epstein (@AlexEpstein) February 18, 2026     As a recent week of winter weather illustrated, solar and wind don’t replace reliable power sources—they just save them fuel, usually at great expense. We’re bombarded with supposed examples of solar/wind rapidly and cheaply replacing fossil fuel power: rapid rises in solar/wind “capacity” or “generation” […]

Prices Show Renewables Aren’t ‘Cheaper Than Fossil Fuels’

False, Everyday States, Prices Show Renewables Aren’t ‘Cheaper Than Fossil Fuels’ By H. Sterling Burnett Everyday States published an article claiming wind and solar power, but especially solar power, provide cheaper electric power than fossil fuels in various states. Media outlets have repeatedly made similar claims over the past decade, but as with those previous […]

STUDY: Climate policies can backfire – ‘Mandates can make even green citizens less green’ – ‘Urban car bans, may trigger strong negative reactions’ – Found ‘a 52% greater negative response to climate mandates than to COVID mandates’

https://phys.org/news/2025-12-climate-policies-backfire-eroding-green.html By Santa Fe Institute A popular vision of life after climate action looks like vegetarians riding bikes, city centers without cars, and people foregoing air travel. But a new paper published in Nature Sustainability finds that climate policies targeting lifestyle changes (say, urban car bans) actually may weaken people’s green values, thereby undermining support for other needed environmental […]
